Adoptable Alexandria Pet: Make Friends With Meowma The Calico Cat

This 1-year domestic shorthair is playful, pushy and lovable all in one.

Meowma is 18 months old and loves to play with toys and with her favorite people. She loves attention and to be pet and will let her owners know that she hasn't gotten enough attention if the petting stops.

Hi there! My name is Meowma, and I am a beautiful calico cat who is sure to win you over with my good looks and winning personality. I am a little over one and a half years old and full of energy. I am a very petite cat who is friendly and outgoing. As I am still pretty young I enjoy playing with toys, but what I like even better is playing with my favorite people. I am an affectionate girl and enjoy getting pet, particularly on my head and neck. If you stop, I will rub up against you letting you know that you are not done yet. I am pushy but lovable! I would do well in just about any home. So if you are looking for a cat that is both beautiful and friendly, give me a try. If you meet me, you will want to take me home!
